Saved time: CodiLime’s team has a wide range of skills and was able to start working immediately.
Optimized spending: as a complete team was provided, the client did not have to expand its own team and incur considerable upfront investments.
Flexibility: with competence in multiple areas of network technical knowledge plus proficiency in software development and IT, CodiLime could efficiently explore the problem and quickly produce the optimal solution.

The solution was based on deploying Multi Cloud gateway (MC-GW) nodes interconnecting different Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)/Virtual Networks (VNets) in the various clouds.
Secure tunneling was achieved by the simultaneous use of the OpenVPN, IPsec, and VXLAN.
Terraform was used to provision cloud resources on Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
MC-GW also extends on-premise resources to the cloud.
Custom Ansible playbooks and Python scripts were used to deploy custom SD-WAN infrastructure and deploy the customer’s SDN solution.
Packer was used to improve the performance of consecutive provisionings.
